Meet Grinch & Max!

 

10–12 week old Terrier mix puppies

 

 

 

Grinch and Max are an adorable brother duo who have been thriving in their foster home and are now ready to find loving forever families. These two have had a wonderful start to life and are showing all the best qualities you could hope for in growing puppies.

 

 

 

Daily Routine & Home Life

 

Grinch and Max sleep soundly through the night together in their crate and usually wake up around 7:00 AM, starting the day with enthusiastic tail wags, hugs, and kisses. First thing in the morning, they head out for their potty break and are doing great with their training.

 

 

 

They eat 3–4 meals per day, depending on their appetites: breakfast around 8:00 AM, lunch at 1:00 PM, an optional afternoon snack between 4:00–5:00 PM, and dinner at 7:00 PM. Throughout the day, they happily entertain each other by zooming around the house, playing, and wrestling like typical puppies, then settling down to rest together in their pen when they get tired. They’re already learning a healthy balance of playtime and downtime.

 

 

 

Max

 

 

 

Max is an incredibly smart, friendly, and playful puppy with a joyful and confident personality. He’s a quick learner — in just one day, he mastered the sit command and even waits patiently during mealtimes. For such a young pup, he understands cues impressively well and responds right away when guided.

 

 

 

Max is wonderful with other dogs and has been an amazing foster brother to Grinch. He naturally takes on a gentle, supportive “big brother” role — protective, kind, and always ready to play. He strikes a perfect balance between fun, intelligence, and affection, and will make a fantastic companion for a family looking for a bright, engaged, and loving pup.

 

 

 

Grinch

 

 

 

Grinch is an absolutely charming little guy who loves meeting new people and happily follows his brother wherever he goes. He has a curious, playful personality and enjoys exploring every nook and cranny of the house. He’s known for “treasure hunting,” so don’t be surprised if a sock or two goes missing!

 

 

 

After playtime, Grinch transforms into a sweet, snuggly lap dog who loves being picked up and cuddled. While he can get easily distracted, he responds well to gentle training and is eager to learn. His loving nature and playful spirit make him a wonderful puppy who is sure to bring lots of joy, laughter, and affection to his future home.

 

 

 

Grinch and Max are affectionate, well-socialized puppies who are off to a fantastic start. They’re ready to continue learning, growing, and sharing their big personalities with families who will cherish them for a lifetime.

More about this rescue

We are passionate folks who love dogs and love people! We strive to make the most appropriate match between human and canine. Because our dogs live in foster homes we know about their temperament and personality and therefore can help families and individuals decide if the dog is a good match or not. We are excited to help people find the right pooch for them and look forward to meeting great folks and welcoming them into the DPS Family.
